南京的梧桐树真正的名字叫“悬铃木”。So its real name is " plane ".
悬铃木的果实有一个球的、叫“一球悬铃木”，三个球的叫“三球悬铃木”。The fruit of sycamore with one ball is called "Sycamore with one ball", and the fruit with three balls is called "Sycamore with three balls".
这二者的杂交，产生了“二球悬铃木，简称”悬铃木“。The hybrid of these two, produced "two ball sycamore, short for" Sycamore."
那为什么叫“法国梧桐“呢？因为它的确与法国有些渊源。Why is it called " plane "? Because it does have something to do with France.
1872年，一位法国传教士在南京的石鼓路栽下了第一棵梧桐树。In 1872, a French missionary planted the first plane tree on Shigu Road in Nanjing.

EP9: Ice Breaker Master: No More Awkward 😎

En un pequeño pueblo llamado Villa Verde vivía una niña llamada Ana. Ana tenía ocho años y le encantaban los animales. Su mascota favorita era un gato negro llamado Noche. Noche era un gato muy curioso y siempre estaba explorando el jardín de Ana. Un día, Ana se despertó y no encontró a Noche en su cama. Se preocupó mucho porque Noche nunca se iba muy lejos. Ana buscó por toda la casa, pero Noche no estaba en ninguna parte. Entonces decidió salir a buscarlo por el pueblo. Primero, Ana fue a la panadería de don Pedro. Don Pedro era un señor amable que siempre le daba a Ana un panecillo cuando lo visitaba.
Ana: Buenos días, don Pedro. ¿Ha visto a mi gato Noche?
Don Pedro: Hola, Ana. No lo he visto hoy. Pero puedes preguntar en la tienda de la señora Rosa. Tal vez ella lo haya visto.
Ana agradeció a don Pedro y corrió hacia la tienda de la señora Rosa. La tienda estaba llena de cosas interesantes, desde dulces hasta juguetes.
Ana: Buenos días, señora Rosa. ¿Ha visto a mi gato Noche?
Señora Rosa: Hola, Ana. No, no lo he visto, pero puedes preguntar en la plaza. A veces los gatos van allí a jugar.
Ana salió de la tienda y se dirigió a la plaza del pueblo. Allí vio a muchos niños jugando y también a su amigo Luis.
Ana: Hola, Luis. ¿Has visto a mi gato Noche?
Luis: ¡Hola, Ana! No, no lo he visto. Pero podemos buscarlo juntos. ¡Vamos!
Ana y Luis buscaron por toda la plaza, pero no encontraron a Noche. De repente, escucharon un maullido suave que venía de un arbusto grande.
Ana: ¡Escucha, Luis! ¡Creo que es Noche!
Los dos amigos se acercaron al arbusto y, efectivamente, allí estaba Noche. El gato estaba atrapado entre unas ramas. Luis y Ana lo ayudaron a salir y Noche se veía muy contento de ver a su dueña.
Ana: ¡Gracias, Luis! Estoy muy feliz de haber encontrado a Noche. Vamos a casa.
Ana y Luis caminaron de regreso a casa de Ana con Noche en los brazos. Ana estaba muy agradecida por la ayuda de su amigo y prometió ser más cuidadosa para que Noche no volviera a perderse.

El Misterio del Gato Perdido

A 38-year-old from Alaska has become the fastest woman to cycle around the world.

Lael Wilcox finished her 29,000-kilometer ride in 108 days, breaking the previous record by more than two weeks.

The American, who is waiting for her record to be confirmed by Guinness World Records, started and ended her journey in Chicago.

However, to break the record, Guinness doesn't ask cyclists to actually ride all the way around the world.

They must start and end in the same place, and their whole journey — including flights — must be at least 40,000 kilometers. That's the circumference of the Earth's equator.

Cyclists must travel at least 28,970 kilometers by bicycle.

After leaving Chicago in May, Wilcox rode to New York before flying to Europe. She then cycled from Portugal in the west to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi in the east.

She flew to Perth, Australia, and cycled east to Brisbane before cycling across New Zealand and then flying to her home city of Anchorage.

She cycled down to Los Angeles, and then back across to Chicago on the famous Route 66.

Her wife, Rugile Kaladyte (pronounced "RUE-gil-ay KAL-ah-dee-tay"), is a filmmaker. She traveled with Wilcox, taking videos and posting updates on social media.

Wilcox is an experienced cyclist, but the first woman to cycle around the world had only learned to ride a bike a few days before her journey began!

In 1894, Annie Cohen Kopchovsky, a mother of three young children, left Boston and cycled around the world in 15 months — all to win a bet!
